The story behind the Kelly
Created in the 1930s by Robert Dumas as a women's bag with straps: a trapezoid with two triangular gussets, a cutout flap, a handle and two side straps. It took the Kelly name in 1956, when Grace Kelly made it famous. Sellier construction keeps the seams on the outside for a more defined outline; Retourné construction turns them inside for softer edges. The leather does not decide the construction: Box calf Kellys are recorded in both.
Discover Hermès Kelly BagsThe studs repeat in sets of four down the strap, domed and polished against the black leather. On Noir, with tonal stitching throughout, they are the only ornament on the bag.
The strap unclips, so the bag carries by its rolled handle alone or on the shoulder, with the studs present only when they are wanted. Without the strap, it is the Mini II as the house builds it, closing at the palladium turn-lock and standing on four palladium feet. Inside, Noir lambskin lines the bag, with one open pocket.
Chèvre Chamkila is a grained goatskin, light in the hand and resistant to scuffing, and firm enough to hold the sharp stitched edges of a Sellier build at this scale. Its fine grain takes a polished shine, visible on the flap and along the curve of the handle.

Collector's Insight:
The Clou de Coeur has appeared in several Chèvre Chamkila colorways, among them Noir, Rouge de Coeur and Terre, each lined in matching lambskin and paired with the same studded strap. The Kelly 20 Mini II is made only in Sellier construction.
Resale Insight:
The strap is the edition's signature, which makes a complete set essential: a Clou de Coeur separated from its studded strap presents as a standard Kelly 20.
